Marissa Rae Niederhauser, dancer, artist and
filmmaker from Seattle, United States, lives in
Berlin for two years, now. Her films vary between
radical body expressions, and transcending
body-nature relations, the complications of
desire, and the search for love while
counteracting the (male) role expectations.
Her work as an artist is based on modern and
contemporary dance. After learning ballet at an
early age, she studied dance at Cornish College
of the Arts in Seattle. Through documenting her
early dance pieces, she learned how to edit video
and moved from there to her own performances for
the camera, while still frequently performing
live dances. Though she does not have a formal
training in visual arts, her process of working
with video is surprisingly similar to visual
artists working with performance and video. Like
many artists, she often works alone or with only
a small crew (camera/sound person) instead of big
dance productions. Influences by artists like Ana
Mendieta, Carolee Schneeman and Charlotte Moorman
are becoming obvious in the pieces which have
performance quality, while others are structured
as dance choreography.
Marissa Rae Niederhauser will present a program
of video work, all conceived and edited by
herself. And she will be available for Q&A after
the screening.
